Food was really good and servings are hugeee! There's some seating next to the restaurant but it's not really a sit down type of place. Also note that it's cash only and this place is quite popular around 5-6pm so it might be a little packed. read more

The 3.9/4.0 star Yelp average is about right. There is a small lot in the back. Street parking is available but may be hard to get. Order at the window just off the sidewalk and pick up at the window right next to it. Sometimes they give you a number sometimes they just tell you the order items to get you to pick it up. The order taker is bilingual and was friendly. However, it was hard to hear him over the kitchen and street noise. Either they go my order wrong or their hard tacos are just lightly fried and not the American style hard ones like at Taco Bell. The taquitos, usually crunchy elsewhere, were also just lightly fried and only like smaller soft tacos. All this is probably healthier, but if you want a traditional hard taco, then try elsewhere. The tacos tasted good. They were not spectacular, but were good. The fish taco is also not fried and is the grilled fish. Good for a grilled fish taco, but hey the fried one always tastes better! healthier grilled. Seems they included several large whole fried tortillas as chips and lots of salsa. These were just ok. On the whole, if you are in the area and want Mexican food or breakfast, then this is a fast and economical place to go. However, if you want really good tacos, taquitos, and burritos, there are far better places in the SoCal area. Would come back here, but not our first choice for a taco place. read more

Unparalleled as a local institution. Funky ambiance, great food, portions and prices.

Now I'm not gonna say el burrito jr is the best Mexican food but if you live in the South Torrance or Redondo beach area, you definitely know about lbj's. I don't know of any taco trucks in the area unless you want to go to Gardena, harbor city, Wilmington, etc. but lbj's will definitely hit the spot. The super deluxe burrito is solid and I don't know what it is but their salsa and chips are addicting. Service has always been a good experience for me and the redondo beach location is the one I usually go to. I've been coming here since high school ages ago and it still has me coming back. Thanks for the memories and the nostalgia. read more

Love this place. Solid fish tacos and I always get a side of pickled jalapeños. So many good options on their menu, but the fish tacos are my go-to here and never want to pass them up! Very pleasant employees. Walk up to the outside window to order. Seating outside. read more

Elberto was so kind & very attentive. Good food and perfect way to stop and grab something quickly. Got the shrimp and fish taco. So delish and freshly cooked read more

Decent service, fair prices for the quality and quantity you receive. I have gotten many of the dishes here over the years, but will highlight the carnitas plate. The meat is nicely done, and you get a decent quantity. Also, worth mentioning is the salsa, better than average. read more

Them shrimp taco was the best I ever had only issue cash only business kinda suck carrying cash

This is my favorite El Burrito Jr. location--I've been coming here since I was a kid. In my opinion, the food here tastes better than at their other spots. My go-to order is the chili verde wet super deluxe burrito smothered in their delicious green sauce. The staff are always friendly and accommodating--ask for extra chips and salsa, and they'll gladly hook you up without charging extra, unlike some of the other locations. read more

Wish they had some solid vegan options. They were always the low cost go-to spot. The al fresco dining here is very beachy and fits the area nicely. The staff is fine and friendly. The main issue is the food, I'd like them to update their menu. read more

They have the best salsa around! The salsa is what makes me want to go to a Mexican restaurant!! read more

My visit to Burrito Jr in Redondeo Beach was a pleasant surprise. However, I encountered a minor setback when I discovered they only accepted cash. After a quick trip to the ATM, which inconveniently wasn't functioning, I returned to find Don José patiently waiting for me. His kindness and the delicious food made the experience truly enjoyable. I look forward to returning soon. Gracias, Don José. read more

Always good quality. I've never gotten sick there and the food is always tasted great. The rice and beans are the best in the area and the kids love them. Go for the Super Deluxe burrito. You can't go wrong read more

LBJ has and will always be my go-to spot to satisfy my "hunger on the go". And my go-to meal... ofcourse... the Special "C". It has always been in and out (minimal wait time) with every visit at this location. Thank you gentlemen for the quick service and delicious food. However, don't expect 5 star dine-in service at this location as they only have outside seating where you can enjoy the PCH traffic read more

There is no other place with creamy refried beans and fluffy rice!! The salsa is perfect and the chips really crunchy. The guacamole is always fresh too Honestly everything is great but we can't get passed Special C read more

We honestly come here at least once a week. Food is great and staff is friendly. Not much else to say other than it's 10/10!

Authentic Mexican food from LBJ always been coming here for over 20 years. Special c is a classic.

Yummy food and clean establishment I will be back as I've been coming here for years always a pleasant establishment

This place used to be really good. I got take out and my taco was so so soggy and my dinner meal didn't have any rice. It was a bunch of runny refried beans that were gritty like there was sand mixed in. Their prices are cheap but they have lost quality sadly. read more

The food? Fantastic! The service and the guys personality? Absolutely a pile of trash. Of epic trash proportions. How much worse can it get than this guy grunting at you, barely smiling and treating you like you're the first customer he's ever seen? Horrible people. Horrible service. read more

Delicious, authentic Mexican fare. I usually order Chile relleno or chilaquiles, and they're consistently excellent. Their refried beans are amazing too. Quick, amiable service at a very fair price. read more

My gosh! It has been years since I've been to this El Burrito Jr location but though it's been years; my recent visit proved that El Burrito Jr still is one of the best places to get a (gigantic burrito!). Interestingly enough my previous review in 2007 was about the Junior Deluxe Chicken Burrito. Today I was about to get the same thing but actually opted to get the Deluxe Chicken Burrito because it was only 50 cents more! ($10 for a Junior Deluxe and then $10.50 for a Deluxe! That is quite the deal!). By title alone; one can tell the Deluxe is well...deluxe! It's deluxe in size (perfect for 2 people or maybe even 3 hehe) and it's also deluxe in taste! It was filled with tender chicken, beans, cheese and rice and topped with guacamole, sour cream and special sauce. It is quite intense but in a good way. I love this location because it's one of the originals and I also love that is so close to the beach. Sun, fun and burritos....one more can a Southern California girl ask for :). read more

I haven't had a good burrito anywhere in Redondo Beach and this place is no exception It's mediocre at best The order taker will listen to your request but doesn't deliver Too Salty read more

I've been going to el burrito Junior for a long time and it's consistently good solid Mexican food. You can show up at night and sit at the patio tables and just enjoy a good large extra wet burrito with everything in it.! read more

This is my daughter's favorite Mexican restaurant so we stopped by for a quick lunch. I ordered the Wet Burrito Deluxe with Chunks of beef, beans, cheese & their special sauce. It was delicious! And the perfect ratio of meat , beans and sauce. You also got chips and salsa with your order! Now, it's not a fancy place, you order at a window and either find a picnic table or take it to go. But the food is phenomenal! Definitely will be back for more! read more

A city staple with an awesome variety in Mexican food selections. Always delicious, great fast service

The best wet burritos in town !! But honestly all their food is good ! Great service as well. All their staff is so nice !

Alberto is the absolute best! So kind, and great service. The best bean and cheese burritos ever!

ElBJ's!! A staple of mine growing up in the South Bay and finally revisiting after 15+ years. It's still the same experience, same menu, same taste. Grab and go Mexican food at this location with a couple tables to eat outside, 2 blocks from the beach, grab yourself a special C and eat with the ocean breeze. read more

El Burrito Jr - One Cheese Enchilada , One Taco & Beans - Mexican Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

EBJ is our go to place whenever we can't decide what to eat for lunch or dinner. We LOVE their carne asada burrito. It's literally the best carne asada burrito in the South Bay! EBJ went the extra mile on making sure customers are feeling safe and relaxed when approaching the window to order their food. They provide hand sanitizer, marked the little pathway to ensure social distancing, and the employees worn a mask when they place the order. They have outside tables on the side, I saw people eating there by sitting at every other table to ensure social distancing. The place also have a big parking lot so definitely no worries there. They have a lot of food pictures on the side wall if you cannot make up your mind. For me, it has always been their carne asada burrito since that's my cheat meal once a while, so until the day I'm sick of eating that, I probably will continue to recommend their carne asada burrito here. Everything else on the pictures look yummy but like i said, if this is your first time and cannot make up your mind on what to get, get the carne asada burrito! Oh and one more thing, they are super generous with the side chips, if you see my pictures below, we have like a whole lunch bag of chips every time we order food there. And their salsa is really good and has a kick too! read more

I stopped here for the second time during my last California trip, which I hope wasn't my LAST California trip. I'm not as adventurous as I pretend to me - after discovering the excellent huevos rancheros I didn't branch out but went with the tried-and-true. The sauce and cheese are just right. The no-frills setting with a few palm trees for ambiance is definitely my speed. People complain on TripAdvisor when the free breakfast at the cheap motel isn't all that; they'd be better trying the fast, cheap and satisfying fare at LBJ. read more

I was a huge fan of the place 10 years ago or so. The food was piping hot, the tacos were crispy, the beans were flavorful. The prices were also much lower. Today I ordered the #3 combo. 1p years ago it was $8.00 or so. Today it was $15. So two orders were over $30.00. The tacos were beyond greasy, the beans had no flavor and everything was covered in lard. Am very upset with the way it has gone downhill but the prices went uphill. I remember when there was a line around the corner. I would have to stand around and wait for 30 minutes for my order to arrive. Guess what..... No wait. No lines.... And bad greasy expensive food. Sorry LBJ. I won't be returning anytime soon. You should throw in pepto with each order. read more

Every time I'm in the South Bay, I do my darnedest to enjoy the carnitas plate with fresh fried tortilla chips and salsa at the original yellow A-frame on PCH. There's something irresistible about eating out of a tin plate at a stone patio table less than 1/4 mile from the beach... Perhaps someday I'll muster up enough self-control to wait until I get to the beach to eat. Order at the walk-up window... or take a chance and try calling ahead (which isn't any quicker during peak times, which seem to be always!). Patrons patiently stand waiting, perusing the picture/list menu posted overhead. Spot the odd spelling errors for a chuckle. Cash only! read more
